In this present time of unemployment and poverty: "let he who has not lied about his or her age be the first to cast the stone".

Why can't this same U.S senators write Obama and demand sanctions against the state of Israel?.

berem: waste of money indeed! 2.6billion naira can go a long way in improving the lives of Imolites. Why waste the money on 26 hungry lawmakers?

Question that every Nigerian with the semblance of a brain should ask the PDP. The kind of money GEJ is spending on his second term campaign makes me scared. I opened rottentomato.com to check movie listing and what I saw there made my mouth open wide. This guy and his team of campaigners are not taking a day off to ensure that GEJ is re-elected.

Many of you creeps criticizing him, if what he did here is done by a pastor I know the amount of accolade you guys will heap on him.

lomprico: Any pastor that tells u not to buy drugs to heal any illness does not need bodyguards period! And if they have, its a proof that they are scarmers.

Well I guess that means majority of them are scammers, because they will basically tell you exactly what you wrote here, saying; 'if you have zoe, you definately don't need to use drugs'.

To speak the truth, pastors have no business using bodyguards, aside Jesus, which of Jesus's followers had bodyguards, was it Paul, James, John or who exactly had bodyguards.

I have also come to notice that most pastors tend to copy of follow the path Jesus lead when it suits them. they never could copy his meek and general forgiving attitude.

Front page please A.S.A.P.

People need not insult him, he has already done that himself, countless times. It started with his bad new year present to all Nigerians: by removing fuel subsidy.

Em, so is the song!. I wonder why people are surprise?.

Erm, How come the sultan is saying this now? when Boko Haram bombed the U.N building and the December 2011 Christmas day bombing why didn't he say this.

berem: I am sure he is contecting under the platform of PDP. That's the political party that suits him.

If its not the PDP which other political party will allow thugs and miscreants? APC too have their fare share...

yemmit90: This's what many graduates keep saying. Do you think people will tell you if they are making real money from their business? Or do you think hard working business man will like to lend his money to a lazy guy who cannot use his head to think of what to do other than his certificate?

The truth is that, jobs are scarce compare to those that are looking for it. If there are enough jobs,there won't be a reason for favourism etc.

As for where a broke graduate will get money to start something, many us know how to source money for university education,Msc,PhD,Ican, law school and others costly professional exams but cannot find money to do business?

Any body with sense will know if a man's business is flourishing, that is something anybody can not hide. A hard working business man will lend to his lazy relative but refuse to lend to money a hard working individual who is not related to him. No doubt anybody who knows what he or she is doing will never rely on his or her certificate for survival, there are other ways and believe me those ways involve one having to earn starvation wages, money they can't even use to take care of themselves....

Believe me, many people get sponsored to school by their family and friends and well wishes, a man who doesn't know you from Adam will never help you. Ask people around you, those of whom have the qualifications, ask them who sponsored them and I believe you'll have your answer.

okparaugo: I just heard a lady telling a man this morning, " You are not man enough"..

Ladies, if you were to address a man(your father, brother, husband, son, boyfriend) according to topic, in what context will you use it ?

Ladies only..

Not to sound myopic but I'll bet my stake that this particular person uses this context when she doesn't get her way...

san316: And any1 coming to talk abt entrepreneurship shld just lock up. Anyways, who will lend me 90k? i need it to secure a job i've already been trained 4.

Don't mind them, entrepreneur this entrepreneur that, ask them to lend you money and they go buzz off like bees after honey. The business one wants to start I wonder if it's saliva they will use to start it up.

I am most amazed some people just discovered that Nigeria is a country where nepotism thrives, If you just realize this, then you just started and I welcome you to the struggle of being gainfully employed.

If some people say them like to smoke weed na this kind people wey like to dey admire another man yeye way of life go dey criticise them.

Leadership by example. Charity will always start in your dormain.

berem: She wasn't arrested but her passport was seized according to the reports. So why was her passport seized then?

I believe the DSS are the ones who can answer that. Please know that anybody can be invited for questioning by any security agency in Nigeria.

Sincere9gerian: Some people are above the law in this country simple because they'r either leaders of APC or members of bring back our girls campaign. You dare not ask them questions or subject them to ROUTINE security measures other citizens are subjected to.

What about those who are affiliated to PDP? Are they not above the law as well?. Most times you speak as if the PDP are saints...

MrWaters: The other day, I was talking to a male acquaintance whose one-time girlfriend had been a friend of mine, which I had been aware of ended because he refused to get married after three years of being together. He was complaining to me of how his house had been turned into a “base” by his friends, and how he never had any moments of peace any longer, and how he was wondering what to do about the situation. I remarked that perhaps, he ought to get married.

“who needs a woman?” was his reply. “I don’t know anyway. I don’t have the time to be attached to any woman Emotional attachment divides a man’s heart, and God did not create man with two heart.”
“So what do you intend to do?” I asked.
I don’t know, I just know that I have to do something” he replied.
“do you have househelp?” I asked again.
“yes, but a househelp is no good. He can’t stop them from storming my place. Perhaps, I’ll just get a woman to live with me.”
“As a wife?” I asked him.
“No, just a live – if she’s lucky.”
I didn’t say anything to that. I gave him a murderous look, quickly said good-bye and walked away. I was so furious.
Why are men such Hypocrites? Why do they have to adopt this love em- and –leave-em- attitude? I have since found out the answer. It is because they are afraid; afraid of how much power the women really have over them. The power that women can wield over them if they stay long enough.
You hear a man brag to his friend of how he is keeping a particular woman. Asked him if she is to be his wife and he will shout. “What for?”
Some other time, you hear another bachelor boy say to his friend, “Boy you needs to get married-o; this kin life no fit continue.” Why does he need a wife? Bed partner? Housemaid? Housekeeper? All these he can get without getting married. The simple truth is he can’t take care of himself. He needs someone to do that for him. His friends can’t do that for him, because they are men like himself, same sides of a coin. Only woman can, with her patience, strength of character, her terrific reserves of determination, her power. Whether they admit it or not, men like to be bossed by their mothers, their wives, their mistresses, their girlfriends.
Men! They are such contradictory human beings. They yell one thing and want another. It was a man who said: “Many of us men are Narcissist by nature, we want to have access to other people’s privacy and yet make ours top secret.”
Men are such pathetic pest. They are always calling women weak, dumb, chicken-brained etc. the fact is, that is the way they’d prefer women to be. They can’t handle strong women. When the women refuse to be suppressed, they label them bitches. The fact is men are the dumb ones. They realize that and fight it. The effort turns them into hypocrites. Putting up macho-images, Facades all! Underneath the layers there’s nothing but vanity, fickleness. That’s just what they are. Empty!
What does a man prove by “capturing” a girl, insisting on knowing her every move, then suddenly dropping her after years of being kept prisoner. He goes on to another, saying she’s not what he wants. What pride is there for you men to have up to six different girls call on you in a day? What does a man prove by marrying thirty-eight women in fifteen years? If God had intended to create women as games of soccer for men, he would have moulded us in the shape of footballs.
Everywhere you go, you encounter cases of male chauvinism. Men trying to assert themselves, trying to impose themselves on women. You hear a man say, “A man has got to be a man”. To prove what? Male superiority over the female? Men sternly oppose the idea of giving a woman free hand because thy see it as equivalent to surrendering the so-called Male superiority. Most Nigerian men are conservative. They believe they must be the bosses where women are involved.
Teel me, what you would think of a woman, abandon and in the depths of distress, who did not try to get herself out of such a state of affairs. You would say she was a slowpoke. We know of so many families who couldn’t have survived today if not for the women who had to take drastic action to salvage the situation. There was once a story in one of the news dailies about a woman who had to collect bones and castaway of meat from the butchers to feed her family. There are many cases of women who had to raise up their kids single-handedly because the men had scurried off in times of hardship, chickened out. Women have more resilience, more strength than most men.
We have heard of the maximum-“stand firmly by what you believe is right.” Tell me how many men who have poor suffering relatives in the villages, but spend their money trying to impress unsuspecting young ladies in the cities; who would go to great pains to cater for the needs of a girlfriend rather than pay thy fees of a younger brother. I can hear some guilty men arguing, “But it’s the young ladies that harass the men into giving in,” isn’t it the men who always brag, “There are many fishes in the sea?” shouldn’t their reasoning prevail over by a woman, it proves he’s the dumb one.
Talk about the uncompromising feminist enjoying her liberation from the “chauvinistic Adams.” And the men claiming they can’t. when a woman tries to assert herself, to demand that the relationship for once goes her way, on her own terms, the man cannot handle that. He screams, “Frustrated bitch.”
I have found out one thing. A man may be able to help you find happiness, for a very short while, at the end of which you’ll realize, when you weigh your loss, that the bad and the ugly were much more than the good.
The truth is: a man feels his masculinity is affronted “if the woman has the upper hand, his inadequacies would be expose”.
I once read somewhere, “if what men fear is that women might succumb to their masculine attraction, why did they not institute veils for themselves?
I ESTIMATE that by 2010, any guy marrying will be marrying a lady that has a SEX record of 100times & for ladies, a guy that can't even remember how many girls he has dated let alone screwed!!

OP. I read this post and came to the conclusion that you are really not telling yourself the truth!. In fact you speak like a hypocrite. You can not use the actions of a single man to judge the rest of us. I believe as you know character, attitude and behaviour defer from one person to
the other.

What would you say do girls who go around chasing married men?, what would you say to girls who open their mouths and say they can't date bachelors?, and what do you say to girls who go around prostituting themselves to married and unmarried men?. Believe me when I tell you that acquaintance of your's is a coward. If he doesn't want his friends to use his house as a base he should just tell them so, nobody will kill him.

An advice for you OP. never use the actions of a select few to judge others.

Why am I not surprise about this. In a country where people can sell their souls for a bag of rice and beans, what do you think the will do for raw cash?.
